Artisanal Tamegroute Ceramic Candle – Green & Sahara Ochre

From the red-dust village of Tamegroute—where ancient kilns burn with desert wind—comes a collection of pottery candles that marry flame and earth in perfect harmony. Each vessel is wheel-thrown from locally quarried clay, then dipped in a secret date-palm glaze that fires into deep Tamegroute green or warm Sahara ochre. Finally, our artisans hand-pour pure, clean-burning vegetable wax, creating pottery candles whose slow, even melt leaves the ceramic keepsake ready for rebirth as a planter or pen cup.
